Carrickfergus Greengrocers is Northern Ireland's first community-owned fruit and veg shop and is owned by its 434 members
Northern Ireland 's first community-owned greengrocers is celebrating its first anniversary with a new scheme to help reduce food costs.
The Carrickfergus pilot is part of the Bridging the Gap programme, a UK-wide initiative established to test ways in which we can make climate and nature friendly food accessible to all. "It is not right that people on low incomes can’t access this food as it is not always affordable, and this is why we have established the Friendly Food Club. Having affordable access to nutritious, delicious, locally grown veg is a human right, and we are proud to be working with local growers and farmers to make this happen in Carrick.”
